C# Language Tutorial => How to implement password reset token in...

Example

Create a new folder called MyClasses and create and add the following class

public class GmailEmailService:SmtpClient
{
    // Gmail user-name
    public string UserName { get; set; }

    public GmailEmailService() :
        base(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["GmailHost"], Int32.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["GmailPort"]))
    {
        //Get values from web.config file:
        this.UserName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["GmailUserName"];
        this.EnableSsl = Boolean.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["GmailSsl"]);
        this.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
        this.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(this.UserName, ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["GmailPassword"]);
    }
}

Configure your Identity Class

public async Task SendAsync(IdentityMessage message)
{
    MailMessage email = new MailMessage(new MailAddress("[email protected]", "(any subject here)"),
    new MailAddress(message.Destination));
    email.Subject = message.Subject;
    email.Body = message.Body;

    email.IsBodyHtml = true;

    GmailEmailService mailClient = new GmailEmailService();
    await mailClient.SendMailAsync(email);
}

Add your credentials to the web.config. I did not use gmail in this portion because the use of gmail is blocked in my workplace and it still works perfectly.

<add key="GmailUserName" value="[email protected]"/>
<add key="GmailPassword" value="yourPassword"/>
<add key="GmailHost" value="yourServer"/>
<add key="GmailPort" value="yourPort"/>
<add key="GmailSsl" value="chooseTrueOrFalse"/>
<!--Smptp Server (confirmations emails)-->
